MinervaEC and
the European digital library
MinervaEC continues the work undertaken by
MINERVA and MINERVA Plus towards the elaboration
of a platform of recommendations, guidelines and
tools for digitisation.
MinervaEC supports MICHAEL and MICHAEL Plus
initiatives.
MinervaEC is aligned with:
i2010 strategy for a European Information Society for growth
and employment,
the EC Recommendation on digitisation and online
accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation,
and the Council Conclusions.
In this light, it contributes to the creation of the
European digital library.
